My Summer Plan: The Food Part
Happy Friday!
Today is errand day and I’ve got lots to do this morning, but I wanted to give you my one more section of my Summer Plan….
the food part ๐
Planning my menu is not my favorite chore. Getting the groceries is even worse. But I came up with a plan a while back to take a little headache out of the mix. ๏ปฟ
Here is the Summer Menu. I chose 15 meals that are summery, easy, quick and simple ingredients to make my entire summer’s menu. When I am getting ready to go to the store I just look at my list of meals, choose the next 5 (Monday-Friday…I usually don’t cook a whole lot on the weekends), and quickly make my grcery list and fill the meals in on my menu page…hold on I’ll get to that part. All of these meals are fast and simple because it’s summer. I would normally have a lot of grilled meals, but since our grill didn’t make it on the moving truck we don’t have one right now ๐
A lot of the meals I chose were discoveries from blogs, so I thought I’d give you my list of meals and their links if there is one…if there isn’t, I’ll try to share those recipes throughout the summer.
::My Summer Menu::
1. Fish Tacos
2. BLT’s
3. Coconut Shrimp w/ Asian Slaw
6. Shrimp w/ Pasta and Salad
9. Cod w/ Baked Potatoes
10. Thai Style Ribs with Peanut Noodles
11. Mushroom Asparagus Quiche
12. Kung-Pao Chicken
13. Tacos
14. Chicken Caesar Salad
15. Lasagna Skillet

I'm a religious meal planner but love the idea of a simple rotation. Lots of inspiration from you this week!!!
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm having baby #2 in TWO days (yikes!) and haven't had the energy to cook. With your declaration of these recipes being easy and quick, I decided to make the Roasted Red Pepper & Basil Penne tonight. It was super easy and SO delicious! My 22 month old scarfed it down as well.
That is a GREAT idea!! I have to finish painting doors and trim and then I'm going to plan my summer. WE still have 2 wks of school here.. so I have time to procrastinate. LOL
Wow I love the font on your menu – what font have you used? thanks Biz x
Thank you for the weekely planner print out and for all of the wonderful recipes. ๐
